If you want to write out multiple files from JS, then a writefile(filename) API works, but then you have to have the entire string buffered in memory. A way to sidestep this without introducing a File object headache to the shell is to allow redirecting stdout to a different file.
We could also have an 'append' function that may or may not secretly cache the file descriptor
